I Became a Time-Stopper at the Academy

58 – Uninhabited Island (3)

A man wearing a black hooded hood moved to the east of the uninhabited island.

Stopping his feet in the middle, he looked down at the floor.

It just looks like an ordinary dirt floor.

Smart.

The man got down on his knees and knocked on the floor.

“For the liberation of the great monarch!”

As I shouted with my arms outstretched, a rumbling sound came from the floor.

The dirt floor opened like a sliding door and made a square hole.

The man put his leg first into the hole.

I tucked all of his body in and let go of his hand holding the ground.

Two feet touched the floor of the underground hallway.

“Are you there?”

As well, the woman who opened the door, wearing a black hood, asked.

The man who entered from the ground nodded his head.

Academy 1st year cadets, instructors, and healers each gave an approximate number.

“As planned.”

“Then I will go to the altar.”

“For the liberation of the great monarch.”

“For the liberation of the great monarch.”

The man who said hello started walking down the underground corridor again.

The ceiling was so low that he stooped, and the width was so narrow that he had to crouch down.

He was uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to accept it for a noble purpose.

He walked all the way down the ramp for 15 minutes.

A large space with a high ceiling appeared.

Approximately 30 people wearing cone hoods all turned their heads toward the man.

“Priest, sacrifices have started wandering all over the island. I think now is the right time.”

Jjallang—.

A middle-aged man called a priest put a stone pole into the ground.

All the followers immediately knelt on his knees.

“It’s time to free the great lord!”

***

The days were shorter than expected on an uninhabited island.

It got dark by the time I took a break for about two hours.

Everyone packed their weapons and went out of the seaside cave.

Most of the cadets will be preparing for camp right now.

… In fact, when an incident occurs, the test loses much meaning.

Still, I wasn’t sure if it would happen according to the story of the game, so I had to buy insurance.

“Is it really blowing here?”

From noble mtl dot com

Kaitlyn asked, holding the [Hamelin’s Small Flute] I gave her.

There is no need for us to wander around to catch monsters.

The monster will figure it out and come to the northern shore where we are.

We have tools for him.

“French. Harder.”

“You won’t die from being surrounded….”

“Don’t worry, I will protect you from dying.”

“Is that so?”

Caitlyn raised the corners of her mouth slightly and blushed.

… I said it like a joke, but did you take it seriously?

No, of course I plan to save her if she is in danger.

She bit her snout on her whistle to her lips.

“Whoa!”

Inflating both cheeks, I blew as hard as I could.

We can’t hear anything in our ears.

But it must have spread a sound that only monsters could hear.

I held the shotgun.

And then I put my finger on the trigger and loaded the mana in advance.

I ate a lot of magic potions before leaving the cave.

“Quit.”

Waddling, a slime approached us with a cute sound.

A monster that looks cute to look at, but isn’t cute at all when dealing with it.

Looking at the red body, it seemed to be [Flame Slime].

They breathe fire.

Of course, if you touch it directly, it will catch fire.

Most slimes are useless anyway, so you have to defeat them with magic.

“Benedetta, sprinkle water.”

“Yes.”

It’s a C-class or higher level monster.

It’s easy if you have a C-class top beggar magic dealer who doesn’t have physical attacks.

… Its weakness is water, so you only need to fire water magic.

A magic circle unfolded at the tip of Benedetta’s staff.

As if it could be handled with a shadowless window, the water immediately spurted out from the magic circle.

Like a rubber hose connected to the water supply.

“Queueek!”

Water is his weakness, but he cannot die from it.

All slimes, without exception, must destroy the core on their torso.

If you spray water on the [Flame Slime], The fire will go out for a moment and the core location will be exposed.

“I will take care of it.”

The biggest advantage of the shotgun.

You can hit it even if you shoot it slightly out of the line of sight.

I aimed at the core position and pulled the trigger.

Bang—!!

The gunshot volume was quite loud compared to the [Standard Archebus], Probably because 12 magic bullets were fired at once.

Each of the magic bullets was a little smaller than one of the [Standard Archebus].

But there is no problem.

At least at close range.

[Flame Slime] Saw the magic bullet and moved to avoid it.

If it had been the [Standard Archebus], The probability of missing it due to this subtle movement could not be ignored.

But [Joel Blunderverse Prototype] Is not like that.

“Suck!!”

If even one of the 12 scattered magic bullets hits the core, it’s over.

The slime whose core was broken eventually turned into a liquid without maintaining its mass.

Caitlyn approached to pick up the core.

“Be careful, it’s hot.”

“I know.”

She took her thick gloves out of her pockets and put them on both her hands.

The magic stone of slime can be obtained by unpacking the broken core.

Therefore, she also slammed her core on the floor, breaking her core even more.

“This is it.”

Very small crystals.

It was a feature of the slime magic stone.

Caitlyn went next to Elianne.

When Ellie Anne opened the mouth of her cloth pouch, she immediately inserted her magic stone.

There are many dealers anyway, so today, I made Elie Anne carry her magic stones while thoroughly supporting her.

“Meow.”

As soon as Caitlyn returned to her place, another monster appeared.

A cat with nine tails.

Similarly, it was a C-class high-ranking monster [Gumimyo].

“You have to kill it nine times to kill it. The tail number shows how many lives are left, so don’t get confused.”

“”Yes!””

The cat acted cutely, saying “Meowong~”.

Then Caitlyn,

“It’s a monster, but it’s really cute!”

And smiled.

He seemed to like cats.

But that’s for a while.

[Gumimyo] Revealed its long claws.

In an instant, I tried to scratch Caitlyn.

“Cute horns!!”

… Words like jaseungjabak followed.

Still, with steady training with Clava, this level of attack was easily avoided.

In the meantime, Ellie Anne cast a physical support spell on Lando that strengthens her attack power.

Lando swung his two-handed sword horizontally, saying “Haap—!!”.

The cat’s head fell on the stony ground.

Immediately, the nine tails were reduced to eight.

It cost one life.

“Nya—!!”

The head grew back from the severed neck.

Now properly pissed off, the cat pounced on Caitlyn with the energy to tear it to shreds.

“Haa—!”

But this time, Luisa pierced the heart of [Nine Cats] With a spear.

It wasn’t long after the spear was pulled out that the pierced area was filled with flesh.

Seven remaining tails.

Me, Lando, Benedetta and Luisa took turns killing the cat.

This is the reason why [Gumimyo] Is a C-class monster.

It’s quite tough to death, but its attack and defense aren’t that great.

“… It looks a little pitiful because something dies so easily.”

Caitlyn murmured when she had only one tail left.

Tears welled up in the cat’s eyes, as if it knew instinctively that its life would soon end.

I asked her in a joking tone.

“Then would you like to raise it?”

“No, that’s a bit. To kill is to be killed.”

“You kill me last.”

“Um…. Okay.”

Actually, Caitlyn was also able to deal because she basically had [Dagger Skill] Skills.

It’s a DLT tank.

I just told him to concentrate on tanking.

She ran to [Gu Mi-myo] With a dagger in both her hands.

After kicking the cat with her foot, she thrust a dagger into the flying monster’s neck.

… When I said pitiful, it always seemed like the most brutal killing.

“I’ll dig the magic stone.”

“Yes.”

A dead [Gumi cat] With no tail left.

She cut her cat’s torso open with a knife and ripped out her heart.

She cut her heart again and pulled out the round magic stone inside.

“Truly, monsters are amazing. No matter how much you stab and burst the heart, the magic stone is still there.”

Caitlyn put the [Gumimyo] Magic stone into Elianne’s cloth bag.

Eliane elaborated on her words.

“They say that only magic stones can break magic stones.”

The two talked about magic stones in more detail.

The question was whether weapons could not be made with such hard magic stones.

According to Elianne, it’s impossible because she couldn’t find a way to attach magic stones to each other. She

She says that no matter how she turns it into a powder, she can’t harden it again.

‘There is a way to do that, but….’

In , This is a setting that came about when the main character, Lando, was in the third grade.

Magic stones were mainly used as materials for SSS-class or EX-class weapons or armor.

Maybe even now, if you tell me the setting, Caitlyn will make an SSS-class weapon.

But no matter how careful you are, it’s easy to leak through researchers.

At this point, even the Demon Kingdom seemed more dangerous if SSS-class weapons were used.

“Both of you focus on the battle now.”

“Oh, sorry.” “Sorry….”

The night monster subjugation is not over yet.

*

I played the flute, caught a monster, took a break, and then played the flute several times.

A cloth bag was filled with magic stones before I knew it.

Seeing that, Lando smiled and said,

“Aren’t we number one?”

But Ellie Anne shook her head slightly.

“We tend to have a lot of party members. Considering the need to distribute it, I wonder if two or three more pockets like this would be a stable ticket.”

It was also Elianne.

That was correct.

In the game, only 2.5 Pockets were needed for the warrior party members to achieve a tie for first place in the practical test.

Caitlyn, who moved her body the most, said “Ha….” She sighed.

“Should I do more?”

As an evasive tanker, he was busy avoiding monster attacks, so he looked the most tired.

“Today we will stop here. It looks like it will break the day soon. Let’s do it again tomorrow after the sun goes down.”

“”Yes!”” “Yes….”

She went back to the seaside cave.

I was going to rest in the tent when Benedetta whispered in my ear.

“How about praising Caitlyn?”

“Do you like my compliments?”

“You will definitely like it. If you don’t like it, I’ll take responsibility.”

How will you take responsibility?

Anyway, a woman knows better what a woman’s heart is, so I decided to follow Benedetta’s words.

I approached Caitlyn.

“Do you have anything to say?”

She asked, tilting her head.

I put my hand on her head.

“What, what?!”

“You worked hard today. I’m so glad you were at our party. It would have been many times harder without you.”

I stroked her hair, giving her the best compliments I could.

I did it as I usually do for Louisa, but I was a little worried that she might be offended.

“Huh….”

Suddenly, Caitlyn sniffled and burst into tears.

She took her hand away in a moment of panic.

“Joe, give me more… !”

“Aren’t you crying because you hate being praised by me?”

“No! I’m just happy…. It’s the first time I’ve been praised like this by someone…….”

Ah, now that I think about it, I think Caitlyn’s parents were very strict people.

There were also a lot of CG scenes of Lando stroking her hair.

“If I had something to praise in the future, would you do it like this?”

She nodded quickly, her face blushing.

From noble mtl dot com

“It may be difficult, but please take good care of me.”

“Yes… !”

She was Caitlyn laughing while crying.
